Israeli Health Ministry Warns of Metal Contamination in Chef HaTeva Corn Stars Cereal
Following a consumer complaint, a metal foreign object was found in a package of "Corn Stars" cereal from the Chef HaTeva brand. The product, manufactured by Top Chef Ltd., prompted a voluntary recall of a specific batch weighing one kilogram. The affected batch was produced on February 1, 2026, with an expiration date of February 1, 2027, and carries the barcode 7290010903931.
The recall decision was made after the metal object was discovered during an inspection triggered by a single consumer report. The company, in coordination with the Israeli Ministry of Health's Food Service, is actively retrieving the product from distribution channels. Consumers who possess the affected batch are urged not to consume it.
Top Chef Ltd. apologized for the inconvenience and stated it is conducting a thorough investigation into the incident. The company emphasized its commitment to quality and safety standards to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
